Mo Mhuirin, in the colours of her breeder and well-known tenor Dr Ronan Tynan, made a successful debut when pipping odds-on favourite Guardian Of Realm in the DundalkStadium.com 2-Y-0 Fillies Maiden in Dundalk.

Andy Slattery’s 50-1 charge, under a forceful ride by Ben Coen, got up late to foil the Juddmonte filly, who had hung right under pressure to the stands rail inside the final furlong. Only a nose separated them at the line.
